Kicker reports that Hoffenheim are interested in Jonathan Burkardt from Mainz.

However, per the German football publication, Die Kraichgauer only have a realistic chance of signing the striker if Mainz get relegated.

Mainz currently sit 16th in the Bundesliga table with eight games left to play this season.

Burkardt committed himself to a long-term contract until 2027 with the club in January.

Since returning from a long-term injury, the 23-year-old has scored four goals in 13 Bundesliga games for Mainz.
